If Mrs. An Guohou knew about this, it would be like asking for her life. Qin Xiao is her lifeline, and now that this lifeline is gone, how can she live? Yes. An Guohou has always gritted his teeth and refused to tell his wife about this matter. Not only that, but he also told all his subordinates that no one should be allowed to tell her about it. Poor Mrs. An Guohou, her son had already been burned to a dry corpse in the fire yesterday. But she is still dreaming of seeing her son.

When Qi Ye arrived with everyone, what he saw was the scene where Mrs. An Guohou pulled her husband and kept asking Qin Xiao, this scene was really weird, and he stopped not far away.

As soon as An Guohou looked up, he saw him, and a trace of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said to his wife: "Madam, look at it!" The emperor has sent it to help us! ”

When Mrs. An Guohou heard this, she immediately stopped crying, she followed her husband's line of sight, and really saw that the handsome and very bewitching Rong Wang Qi Ye in the capital was standing not far away, and her heart was also filled with a glimmer of hope, and she was busy patting the dust that did not exist on her body with her husband. Greeted him.

"See the prince!" An Guohou and his wife bent down together to ask An Dao.

"Wake up, two of you!" Qi Ye said busily.

An Guohou pulled his wife and slowly straightened up.

"Your house has suffered such a great calamity, and my father has specially ordered the king to come and investigate this matter thoroughly. If the two of them are unwell, they don't need to be polite. Qi Ye said slowly.

When An Guohou heard this, he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

Qi Ye looked around, then stared at An Guohou twice, and saw that he was fine, so he spoke: "Dare to ask Master Hou, do you have a score in your heart about the fire in the mansion last night?" Do you think this is providential or man-made? ”

"Nature is man-made!" An Guohou said without thinking: "Such a fire, if it is not man-made, how can it be ignited for no reason?" And when it caught fire, everyone in my house was drowsy, and they didn't wake up until the fire was very big, and even if they put out the fire at that time, it was too late! ”

"Are there any casualties in the house?" Qi Ye asked lightly.

An Guohou's face changed suddenly. He turned his head to look at Mrs. An Guohou who was standing beside her, and said to Qi Ye with a look of embarrassment: "Lord Wang, let's take a step to speak." ”

But as soon as the words fell. Mrs. An Guohou on the side shouted: "Is there anything you can't say in front of me?" How many people have died in this house, don't I, the mistress, have the right to know? ”

Qi Ye didn't speak.

An Guohou reprimanded his wife with an ugly face: "You are talking nonsense!" We men talk about business, how can you have a reason for a woman to intervene! Why don't you get out of the way? ”

Mrs. An Guohou stood still. She stared at An Guohou with dead eyes and said, "Why do you have to let me leave?" You don't want me to know who the hell is dead in the house? ”

When An Guohou heard this, he was a little speechless, so he could only turn his gaze for help to Qi Ye.

"Madame, you are frightened, so go back and rest! What does this king say to the marquis, he will tell you later, you are here and there is no same. Qi Ye said slowly.

Mrs. An Guohou was right when she thought about it, and immediately glared at her husband angrily, got up and left.

An Guohou said to Qi Ye with a sad face: "Don't hide it from the prince, yesterday's fire, my sick son Qin Xiao, he, he was not rescued!" In the end, his tone was so stumpy that he couldn't say anything anymore.

"Master Hou, please mourn." Qi Ye's face was also sad, and he slowly spoke: "In addition, is there anyone else in the mansion who has lost their lives?" He finally knew why An Guohou had just separated his wife, and until now, Mrs. An Guohou didn't know the fact that Qin Xiao was dead. The other party is so concerned, he can only change the topic, and only hopes to talk about the things next to him, and An Guohou can feel a little better in his heart.

Sure enough, hearing Qi Ye ask about the side, An Guohou's face was not so sad, he nodded and said, "Yes, my son's newly married daughter-in-law, Princess Rita, was unfortunately burned to death by fire yesterday. ”

When Qi Ye heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he asked solemnly, "Master Hou, are you sure that Princess Rita was burned to death?" ”

An Guohou nodded and said, "Yes, after the fire is extinguished, Ben Hou will first go to the meditation courtyard to clean out my son's bones, and then go to Princess Rita's courtyard to clean up Princess Rita, who was lying on the big bed in the bedroom and has been burned beyond recognition." ”

"Where are the bones now?" Qi Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, he decided to go to see the so-called 'Princess Rita's corpse' first, and then tell Princess Rita, Marquis of Anguo, that there was no news that she was dead. It's just that I don't know if An Guohou, who has experienced the pain of mourning, can withstand this blow.

When An Guohou heard Qi Ye's question, he immediately stood up and said, "Lord Wang, it's parked in a vacant lot cleared not far ahead, I'll take you there." ”

Qi Ye nodded.

Soon, the two of them came to the place where the corpses were parked one after the other, and saw that there were corpses parked everywhere on the huge field, but because they were all covered with white cloths, Qi Ye didn't know who was lying underneath.

An Guohou saw through the doubts in Qi Ye's eyes, and immediately explained: "Lord Wang, these covered with white cloths are all the slaves of the Hou Mansion who died in the fire last night, and there are more than one number of slaves in my house, and only a small half of them escaped death last night. These are all cleaned up corpses. He said, sighing deeply.

Qi Ye saw this, and he was quite angry in his heart, this Li Yushan was really careless about human life, but he wanted to get some gold, silver and jewelry, and stirred up the chaos in the world, so he actually killed so many lives! It's really ridiculous that such a person still has the support of so many people all day long under the banner of eliminating harm for the people and seeking happiness for the common people in the world!

Thinking about it, the corners of Qi Ye's mouth couldn't help but show a mocking smile. Row the ditch in winter.

An Guohou didn't notice this scene, because he turned his head and concentrated on taking Qi Ye to the innermost part of the morgue, where two fine sandalwood coffins were parked. There is no lid on. An Guohou directly took Qi Ye to the coffin where the so-called Princess Rita was parked, and motioned to the subordinates who came with him to lift the white cloth covering the corpse in the coffin, revealing a female corpse that was burned in pitch black and did not distinguish eyebrows.

The female corpse still has clothes that have not been completely burned, looking at the fabric and workmanship, it is indeed the clothes that Princess Rita has worn before, the female corpse is tall, and there is indeed a certain distance from the petite and delicate figure of the Great Qi Girl, if Qi Ye did not personally lead someone to snatch Princess Rita from Li Yushan's hands, he would definitely believe that this female corpse was Princess Rita's.

"Was there ever a tall maid in the house? If there is, Hou Ye ordered someone to find her person, or the corpse. Qi Ye said slowly.

An Guohou was stunned when he heard this, what do you mean by this? Could it be that Princess Rita is still fake? It's impossible, okay?

He had a lot of doubts in his heart, but no matter how he looked at it, Qi Ye was so confident that An Guohou couldn't help but believe it, and at that moment, he quickly called an elderly woman in the house.

"Have we ever had a tall maid in our house?" An Guohou asked.

He was originally hopeless, because he had never doubted the authenticity of the corpse in front of him. But what is surprising is that when the old lady heard this, she nodded without hesitation and said: "Master Hou, there is a maid named Holly, who is tall and strong, and she is serving in the courtyard of the new young lady, and after the fire this time, the slave maid has not seen her for a long time. ”

When An Guohou heard this, his face suddenly changed!

At this point, the matter is actually clear, but after An Guohou sent the old lady away, he still called a few slaves and ordered: "You go and find the maid named Holly!" To live to see people, to die to see corpses! ”

"Yes! Master Hou! Subordinates obey! A few of the little guys responded and quickly retreated.

At this moment, Qi Ye suddenly spoke: "Master Hou, there is one thing you must be mentally prepared for, Princess Rita, she is not dead. ”

When An Guohou heard this, his pupils shrank sharply!

"Why is the prince so determined? Just a few words from the old lady just now? An Guohou said disdainfully: "This is also pediatric, right?" ”

"Since this king dares to say this, it is because this king is completely sure." Qi Ye glanced at An Guohou, took in the disdain in his eyes, and said slowly: "In the middle of the night last year, at a fork ten miles away from the capital, this king personally led two thousand men and horses to personally intercept a team of rebellious parties who fled from the capital, and Princess Rita was sitting in the carriage of the rebellious party, and she was rescued by this king himself. ”

"How so?" An Guohou's face was incredulous, and there was deep confusion in his eyes.

Qi Ye glanced at him, and his tone became more and more light: "The leader of the chaotic party is Li Yushan, who has escaped from the hands of this king several times, this person must be a stranger to the prince, right?" ”

An Guohou naturally remembered this Li Yushan, the righteousness of the remnants of the previous dynasty, the two ends of the sky created some chaos near the capital, this person has disappeared in the capital for a long time, how could he suddenly appear?

The look of doubt in An Guohou's eyes became more and more, Qi Ye looked at him, but he didn't want to explain so much to him, so he only said lightly: "Now, Princess Rita and Li Yushan have been personally escorted into Beijing by this king and sent directly to the Criminal Department. ”
